ANZAC day is a national day in Australia on 25th April each year and it is a public holiday.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army corps, and our Australian soldiers are called Diggers. Simpson is a brave person from the First World War. Simpson and his donkey are key part of the "ANZAC legend". Simpson and his donkey called "Duffy" are famous heroes from the First World War and Simson put wounded soldiers on the donkey's back and helped them to the first aid tent.
"Defend" means "to keep safe" and the people in the Australian Defence force keep our country safe and protect us. On ANZAC day people who have defended our country get special medals and families go to marches in their towns, we wear ANZAC bandages and wave Australian flag.
The Ode is part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC day service, the poem said "they shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the tears condemn. at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them".
On ANZAC day flowers and wreaths are laid at the bottom of war memorial as a way of saying we have remember those people who have fought for our country.
